The Albuquerque Inspector General’s Office is investigating problems at Animal Welfare after tips poured in that raised red flags.

The agency has been at the center of an investigation for weeks, according to officials at the Inspector General’s Office.

Officials with the Inspector General’s Office have confirmed Animal Welfare is being examined.

A number of volunteers told Target 7 that officials with the Inspector General’s Office asked them questions about practices and leadership at the shelter. A City of Albuquerque spokesperson confirmed they received word about the investigation, but did not know what it was about.
